FARM TO TABLE: OPEN CLASSES THIS WEEK

I live in a farm house near Cortona, where the sunflowers have been planted to become the attractions park for chicken and ducks. They stroll among the robust and tall stalks, picking the seeds that fall to the ground. At the border of the field there is a little river, where the duck families find re-freshness and fun.

Every morning Max brings home a basket full of goodies gathered in the vegetables garden.

Now, in the middle of the summer, the table of Gigliooking is covered with new potatoes, eggplants, zucchini, tomatoes, melon, pears. The refrigeretor is full of zucchini blossoms, plums, "friarelli" ( small green peppers good to deep fry).

GiglioCooking is offering these days Open Classes with dishes made from scratch and from... the garden: real farm to table lessons
